Plaza Espagna

Most towns seem to have one, but this is special. Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition World's Fair, the shape - I am told - represents the embrace of Spain facing the Guadalquiver river as a path to America.
The four bridges over the 515m long canal stand for the 4 ancient kingdoms, (Castile, Leon, Aragon and Navarra,)
2 baroque towers named North and South. People winged cos they were only 23.5m shorter than the Giralda tower which was considered too close.Weiterlesen
